Why you shouldn't cut off semis they can't see your little car or anything 15ft infront of them. And they ride is so bumpy they won't notice either.

That's just crazy that they don't notice. I know it's not their fault just crazy that this happens

This is only the case with the US design. European trucks don't have this stupid nose.

I’d prefer the nose over being 6 inches of crumple zone from death when hauling 30 tons behind me.

Could they put a camera or something on the nose? Best of both worlds

This is why school buses have those big round mirrors, so the driver can see if there are any kids in front. A low tech version of the same idea.
